[DM-MUG] Some, not all, apps. on G5 are not opening

[Matthew W.]

DW (and I recommend strongly using v.4) works fastest from an  
external bootable drive. Install DW on your drive, then clone it to  
an external. This way you have a working clone and a Utility drive.  
Boot from the external, and run DW on the internal--former boot-- 
drive. Booting from the CD using v.4 takes way too long, but is the  
most stable. Using a separate Mac as a utility drive, with DW  
installed, and your target machine in FireWire Target Disk Mode (hold  
down "T" on startup) is another quick method of running the utility.
